Born in North Carolina, raised at the bluegrass school of the Stanley Brothers,
and relocated to Los Angeles, Jim Lauderdale
quickly became one of the neo-traditionalists of country music, and wrote
hits for other Nashville musicians (Where The Sidewalk Ends,
Gonna Get A Life, Halfway Down,
You Don't Seem to Miss Me).
His debut album, Point Of No Return (Westside, 2001),
recorded in 1989, was only released 12 years later.
Planet of Love (Warner, 1991) was not particularly original, but that
album and the subsequent ones,
Pretty Close to The Truth (Atlantic, 1994) and
Every Second Counts (1995) established the career of a prolific
country songwriter.
Persimmons (Rounder, 1996), with Life By Numbers,
and
Whisper (BMG, 1998), with She Used To Say That To Me,
led to the melodic and upbeat Onward Through It All (BMG, 1999),
perhaps his best (We Really Shouldn't Be Doing This).
Lauderdale also recorded two bluegrass collaborations with
Ralph Stanley, I Feel Like Singing Today (Rebel, 1999) and
Lost In The Lonesome Pines (Dualtone, 2002).
The Other Sessions (Dualtone, 2001), with
If I Were You, and First Things First, and
The Hummingbirds (Dualtone, 2002), with
New Cascade and It's A Trap,
continued Lauderdale's progress towards a more personal style.
